It just so happened that the day I went to pick it up they were running a big sidewalk sale and had marked it down from $199 to $159- AWESOME! I picked up a couple 8500lb straps (also on sale) as well and I was gtg!

It was a long battle filled with many perils but in the end I won out. Now I just have to build a vertical standing push cart to move the beast into the shop itself..
